Class enrolment

As a first-year student in the Software Engineering program, you will automatically be enrolled in your first year courses. You will be able to view your schedule and fee statement on Quest, as well as update your personal information. Starting in 2A, you will use Quest to pre-enroll and enroll for your elective courses, so become familiar with Quest.

Computing on campus

As a Software Engineering student, you belong to both the Faculty of Mathematics and the Faculty of Engineering, thus you will be issued a Math student.math Unix account and an Engineering Nexus account.

Textbooks

You can look up your textbooks for the term through My Booklook. Once you know which textbook your instructor will be using, you can also try to find them at the Feds Used Books store - these books are not refundable so make sure you have the correct textbook and edition before making a purchase.

WatCard

The WatCard is your one card to access many facilities and services both on and off campus.

Class representatives

Students elect their class representatives in their concepts course (SE101) during their 1A term. New student representatives are elected each subsequent academic term.

Among other things, class reps act as the main liaison between their classmates, professors, and the SE administration. They also attend 3 meeting throughout the term and bring forward any class concerns.

All students in the Faculty of Engineering must have appropriate instruction on issues of workplace safety: Workplace Hazardous Material Information System (WHMIS) training satisfies this requirement. Software Engineering students will receive the appropriate level of WHMIS training in SE 101.
